Rollie Sheldon: Yankee Pitcher Remembered | Huntsville News

Baseball lost a true legend this week: Rollie Sheldon, the right-handed pitcher who helped the Yankees win two World Series, passed away at 89.

After stints with the Red Sox and a solid career marked by 38 wins and 36 losses, Sheldon’s path reminds us that greatness can come from unexpected places.
